secure TO American citizens the privilege of sup
plying every article which can be produced as
well In the United States as in other countries,
and sufficiently to supply American wants. Such
a tariff makes demand for, and gives employ
ment to the labor of American citizens, and
thereby aids in securing just compensation for
labor. We denounce the Ohio Democratic plat.
form of a tariff for revenue only, and which de-
mands an indiscriminate reduction In all duties
ON imported articles, the effect of which would
be to encourage importations, thus giving Ameri-
can patronage to foreign producers and foreign
labor, rather than to our own.
Second-We adhere to the public policy under
which our country has received from Europe
great bodies of honest, Industrious citizens who
had added to the wealth, progress and power of
our country; and while we welcome to our shores
the well-disposed and industrious emigrant who
contributes by his energy and intelligence to- the
cause OF free government, we view with alarm
unrestricted emigration from foreign lands as
dangerous to the peace and good order of the
country and the integrity and character of its cit
izenship. We urge congress to pass such laws
and establish such regulations shall protect us
from the inroad of the Anarchist, the Communist,
the poygamist, fugitive from justice, the insane,
the dependent paupers, the vicious and criminal

ton of the internal tax upon American grown
tobacco. 1t declares that the public lands should
be held sacredy for settlers, and while
condemnng the false pretense Of Cleve-
lands administration of the civil service
law, it advocates its maintenance and
proper enforcement. Sympathy is extended to
Gladstone Parnel, and their associates in their
efforts to secure home rule for Ireland. The veto
of pension bills is condemned, the language in
which several of Mr.. Cleveands vetoes have been
couchedi denounced, and the particular veto of
the dependent pension bill characterized as
plain violation of the oft repeated promises Of the
Democratic party, and demand Is made that
congress shall pass and the president approve
liberal pension enactments. The administration
of Governor Foraker II. indorsed and the legisla-
ture praised for the passage Of the Dow law.

platform concludes with the resolution In refer
